Joshua Mark Shockey of Waynesboro is charged in gun incident

A 24-year-old Waynesboro man was arrested Sunday evening after allegedly confronting a man with a handgun and firing a shot into a door frame at 25 Cleveland Ave.

Waynesboro police said Joshua Mark Shockey of 113 C.V. Ave. was walking down Cleveland Avenue at 6:40 p.m. when he became confrontational and pointed a handgun in a man’s face. The man he pointed the gun at was arguing with a third man at the time, police said.

Shockey reportedly followed the man he pointed the gun at into an apartment building, then fired a shot into a door frame.

Shockey faces four counts of reckless endangerment, two counts each of simple assault and making terroristic threats and one count each of discharging a gun into an occupied structure, carrying a gun without a license, and receiving stolen property.

Anyone who witnessed the incident or has any information is asked to contact Detective Travis Carbaugh or Sgt. Mike Bock at 762-2131.

Previous arrest

Shockey was arrested in June after he and another Waynesboro man were accused of raping a woman. Shockey pleaded guilty to making terroristic threats in the case, and the other charges were dropped.

Shockey reportedly threatened to kill the woman and the other man charged, Robert Clements, if they told anyone about the incident. Shockey was sentenced in July to 36 months in jail with two months’ electronic monitoring upon release. His online court documents do not indicate when he was released from jail.

Clements pleaded guilty to simple assault in the case, and was sentenced to 31 days to 18 months in jail, with supervised probation upon release.
